Pro-Life group boosts Scheer's campaign

Right Now releases suggested ballot for Conservative leadership race, ranks Scheer second

Andrew Scheer’s Conservative leadership campaign got off on the wrong foot with pro-life activists when he said, at his campaign launch last September, that he wouldn’t reopen the debate on abortion.

But a suggested ranked ballot released Friday by the pro-life, anti-euthanasia group Right Now recommends Scheer as a second choice.

“Our number two person that we’re suggesting is Andrew Scheer. Andrew has a 100 per cent pro-life record,” the group’s co-founder, Scott Hayward said in a Facebook video Friday morning from the conservative Manning Conference in Ottawa.
